About Me

Welcome! I am passionate about excellence in early childhood education. I do a mainly Reggio inspired child-led/ teacher-facilitated/ play-based intensive preschool curriculum. Aspects of Montessori and other programs are sprinkled throughout as well. My graduates are all at the top of their classes and many are in gifted programs. I homeschooled my two boys for l3 years for academic reasons.
I have a master's degree in Human Resources (training and development,) and college courses in Early Childhood Education and Development, along with my 120 hour Child Development Associate training.
One of my clients has a doctorate in Early Childhood Education and Special Education, so I always have her expertise to tap into as well.
I welcome questions and comments.

Ice Cream Theme Already?

I've had a ton of hits on my Ice Cream Theme printables and a couple of special curriculum requests on ice cream items in my TPT store.This FREE pre-writing worksheet has a few hundred hits on it. If you don't have it, feel free to print.

As I was reviewing the Ice Cream theme, I accidentally hit this song. The children started cheering. They hadn't heard this one in a while. It may SAY it's a calendar song, but we know it's REALLY the ice cream song. It's dorky, but the children just love it.I finished my Ice Cream Thematic Unit and put it up for sale on TPT. It's 56 pages, 48 of those printables. As with all of my items, since I do multi-age childcare, the unit is good for early preschoolers through 1st grade. There is a FREE PREVIEW, so check it out. The preview gives a good idea of what's in there.

Since all of my products are original, they are totally customizable. I can add items, alter items or re-bundle only those you want. I have created all of this for my own use, in my school, for a one week theme that I do every three years. I'm just making it available to others who may not be so inclined to put in the amount of time and effort it takes, which I love doing. I'm not really thrilled with my ice cream theme booklist. If you have suggestions of books you love for this unit, please share!Tags: ice cream, theme, unit, preschool, pre-k, prek, kindergarten, thematic unit, worksheet, free, printable, pre-writing, summer, childcare, daycare, fine motor
